ADHD Treatment in St. George, UT

Red rock cliffs near St. George Utah with a clear blue sky — Retirement was supposed to fix everything. But your brain did not get the memo.

Retirement Did Not Fix Your Focus

You moved to St. George for the weather. The red rocks. The golf. The slower pace of life after decades of grinding.

But something is off. You thought retirement would make everything easier. No more deadlines. No more meetings. No more boss breathing down your neck.

Instead, you feel more scattered than ever. You wander around the house not sure what you were doing. You start a book and put it down after ten pages. You forget where you parked at the grocery store. Your spouse keeps asking why you cannot remember a simple conversation from yesterday.

You might think it is just aging. But what if it is something that has been there your whole life -- and it is only now, without the structure of work, that you are finally seeing it?

Late-Life ADHD Is More Common Than You Think

ADHD does not appear in retirement. It has been there all along. But when you had a job, a schedule, and people counting on you, your brain had enough structure to keep up. Work was the scaffolding that held everything together.

Take that away, and the ADHD symptoms come flooding in. Forgetfulness. Restlessness. Losing track of time. Starting five things and finishing none of them. Feeling bored even though you have a hundred things you could do.

Many people over 55 get diagnosed with ADHD for the first time. They spent decades thinking they were just scattered, forgetful, or not trying hard enough. Finding out it is ADHD changes everything.

It Is Not Just Retirees -- Outdoor Lovers Struggle Too

St. George is also home to younger people who love the outdoors. You hike Snow Canyon. You mountain bike in the desert. You plan trips to Zion National Park every other weekend.

You are great at the fun stuff. The adrenaline activities. The things that grab your attention and do not let go.

But the boring stuff? Bills. Emails. Scheduling. Cleaning the house. That is where it all falls apart. And you wonder why you can bike twenty miles uphill but you cannot make yourself open the mail.

That gap between what excites you and what drains you is a hallmark of ADHD. Take our free 2-minute ADHD screening and see if it fits.

Not Sure If It's ADHD?

Our free screening takes about 2 minutes. It's based on the same tool doctors use. No commitment, no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can adults over 60 be diagnosed with ADHD for the first time?

Yes. Many adults are diagnosed with ADHD later in life. The symptoms were always there, but work and daily routines helped mask them. Retirement often brings them to the surface.

Is it ADHD or just normal aging and memory loss?

That is an important question, and a good provider can help you figure it out. ADHD affects focus and organization. Age-related memory issues look different. An evaluation sorts out which one fits your symptoms.

Is ADHD medication safe for older adults?

Your provider will review your full medical history before recommending anything. There are several ADHD medication options, including non-stimulant medications, and your provider will choose what is safest for you.

I live in a rural area outside St. George. Can I still be seen?

Yes. Everything is by video, so it does not matter where you are in Utah. You just need an internet connection. We serve patients across all of Southern Utah.

My spouse thinks I am just forgetful. How do I explain ADHD to them?

ADHD is a medical condition, not a personality trait. Your provider can help explain it. Many couples find that a diagnosis brings relief because it gives a name to patterns they have noticed for years.
